BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisundo Guides IPA and Lager on April 11
BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisundo in Osaka's Ibaraki updated its tap guide for April 11. Centered on a newly scheduled IPA from Hop Kotan Brewing, the lineup also features a diverse selection of draft beers from Isekadoya Beer, Baeren Brewery, and Pilsner Urquell.
Hop BroThe tap guide at Raisundo in Osaka's Ibaraki is interesting. On April 11, Hop Kotan Brewing's "Full Throttle : American IPA" is the centerpiece, and it combines a white-grape-like character and tropical notes with a strong IBU 60 bitterness.
MugiWait, can white grape and bitterness really go together!? It sounds like wine, but it's an IPA, and my brain is getting tangled up!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. The hop-derived aroma comes across with white grape and fruit notes, then it finishes with the sharp bitterness of IBU 60. In short, it smells bright and finishes crisp.
MugiI see! So what else do they have? Is it more than just IPA, like lager fans also get a rescue?
Hop BroOf course. They have Isekadoya Beer's "Sabro’s IPA" and "Fresh-Pressed Beyond the Pacific : West Coast Pilsner," which expand the tropical aroma, and Baeren's "Onmenburoi : Rauch Bock" and Chocolate Stout are also on the list.
MugiRauch bock!? That sounds strong all of a sudden! The aroma of smoked malt makes the beer feel like there's a hint of grilled chicken in it!
Hop BroExactly! Rauch means the smoky character of smoked malt, while stout has the depth of roast, so the direction of the aroma is different. Raisundo also has smoked dishes, house-made ham, pizza, and pasta, so you can have a lot of fun matching the beer with food.
MugiThat's perfect! And it's just underground near the west exit of Hankyu Ibaraki-shi Station, so the easy-to-drop-by location is almost unfair. A beer pub with music too? I can already see myself staying there forever!
Hop BroAnd since they also have the classics, "Draft Pilsner Urquell" and "SORACHI 1984," there's a proper sense of security in lager too. Even on a day when they're pushing new releases, having one beer to come back to is powerful.
MugiWhat is this, a pit you can choose by mood!? Flying with IPA, settling in with pilsner, and finishing with stout would be perfect!
Hop BroThe possible lineup even includes "Sencha Hazy IPA" and Mikkeller x Baeren's "Coolship Vienna Lager," so the wide range is part of the fun. This is a place where you can build your lineup from the first glass to the last, so it's definitely the kind of spot that makes you want to go with a friend.
MugiYeah, yeah, it's such a lineup I want to drink right now! First I'd fire up with Full Throttle, then I'd want to drift happily for hours with ham and lager!

As standard options, "Draft Pilsner Urquell : Pilsner" and "SORACHI 1984 : Pilsner" are also available, so lager fans are well covered too.
Looking ahead, the possible additions include "Sencha Hazy IPA : Hazy IPA with Green Tea," "Mikkeller x Baeren 'Coolship Vienna Lager' : Vienna Lager," "Rye Beer : Roggen," "Maibock : Mai Bock," and "Golden Lager of the Alchemist."
